Hotspots of Bacterial Pathogen Abundance and Exposure Risk in Soils of the Contiguous United States

GeoHealth, Volume 9, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Soils are reservoirs of pathogenic bacteria that cause human illness, particularly after mobilizing events such as extreme rain. Land‐use patterns (e.g., proximity to agriculture) and soil properties (e.g., moisture) are associated with abundance of individual pathogenic bacteria. However, there are major uncertainties in (a) the importance of

Effects of Soil Moisture and Soil Temperature on Coccidioidomycosis

GeoHealth, Volume 9, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Coccidioidomycosis (Valley fever, VF) is a climate‐sensitive infectious disease caused by inhaling soil‐dwelling fungus Coccidioides, mostly reported in southwestern USA. Although soil moisture (SM) and soil temperature (ST) are known to shape the fungal lifecycle, their effects on coccidioidomycosis remain understudied.

Rethinking Global Soil Degradation: Drivers, Impacts, and Solutions

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract The increasing threat of soil degradation presents significant challenges to soil health, especially within agroecosystems that are vital for food security, climate regulation, and economic stability. This growing concern arises from intricate interactions between land use practices and climatic conditions, which, if not addressed, could ...

The importance of tree allometry for local-scale variation in aboveground biomass [PDF]

, 2018
Aboveground biomass (AGB) plays a critical role in determining the long-term dynamics of carbon in tropical forests. Consequently, understanding what factors are important in controlling AGB in tropical forests has major implications for projecting the ...

Comparing Different Approaches - Data Mining, Geostatistic, and Deterministic Pedology - to Assess the Frequency of WRB Reference Soil Groups in the Italian Soil Regions [PDF]

, 2014
The assessment of class frequency in soil map legends is affected by uncertainty, especially at small scales, where generalization is larger. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that data mining or geostatistic techniques provide better ...

A Conceptual Framework for Erosion of Unsaturated Cohesive Soil

Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Accurately predicting soil erosion remains difficult owing to variability in the factors that drive the interaction of unsaturated flow and soil deformation. For example, seasonal changes in soil moisture affect infiltration, swelling, and soil stiffness, all factors that interact and may affect soil erosion through changes in matric suction ...

Peat Hydraulic Structure Maintains the Stability of Permafrost Slope Peatlands in the Central Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau

Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Permafrost‐affected peatlands on the central Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau (QTP) store globally significant amounts of carbon but face climate‐induced hydrological changes. The mechanisms enabling slope peatlands to sustain waterlogging under low net precipitation (precipitation minus evapotranspiration) remain uncertain.

FIELD PEDOLOGICAL CHARACTERISATION OF TWO TRANSECTS ALONG THE INNER AND OUTER SIDES OF A SIXTY YEARS OLD TISZA DIKE – A CONTRIBUTION TO THE PROBLEM OF PRIMARY AND SECONDARY ALKALI GRASSLANDS [PDF]

Acta Geographica Debrecina. Landscape & Environment Series, 2009
Two transects were studied by field pedological investigations and soil bulk electrical conductivity measurements in order to understand the effect of a 60 year old dike along the Tisza River on soil formation and vegetation composition.

Physics of the Soil Medium OrganizationPart 1: Thermodynamic Formulation of the Pedostructure Water Retention and Shrinkage Curves

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2014
The equations used in soil physics to characterize the hydro-physical properties of the soil medium cannot be other than empirical since they do not take into account the multi-scale functional organization of the soil medium that is described in ...
